For years, people have said that learning Latin teaches you to think better. Why would not the same be true of learning Python or Lisp?

- nicolapede 11y agoBecause to learn Latin you usually (at least in the country where I learnt it) have to read Virgil, Seneca, Tacitus and so on. They are not mandatory if you instead want to learn Python.
